Introduction to the Meisner Technique
1 workshop of 3 hours: $60.00
Date - to be rescheduled
Workshop is limited to 12 participants ages 16 - adults

In the 1930s, Stella Adler, Lee Strasburg and Sanford Meisner graduated from the Group Theater. Each developed his or her own method for teaching acting, based on the work of Konstantin Stanislavsky. The Meisner approach, centered on the famous repetition exercise, teaches actors how to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Both rigorous and profoundly simple, it is a technique designed to help actors discover new levels of authenticity and true emotion. Taught widely in New York and L.A., it is a necessity in film work and in truly connected theater. Actor and Artistic Director Lyralen Kaye brings New York Meisner training to Boston in this one evening workshop that provides an introduction to Meisner theory as well as hands-on practice in the famous repetition exercise.
